[billssuperbird]

I read this 3 times. I don't get it.

[FJ5WING]

Im going to guess he has SS wheels that don't fit his car and when they sell he will get the correct SS's?

[billssuperbird]

Yes

If they don't fit his car, how are they on it 

[billssuperbird]

They are not on the car. When I got them I was told they would fit a mopar but they are for a gm. I have them for sale on hear.

[oldcarnut]

If you can, try to stay away from the unilug bolt pattern.  What a pain sometimes.

[billssuperbird]

I will.

[ACUDANUT]

I see. Ain't all Cragar's unilug ? That is all I have ever seen.

[billssuperbird]

 

[Ghoste]

No, at one time they were brand specific and gradually went to a unilug wide offering.  My understanding is that some of their wheels are now again make specific.

[BIGBLCK11]

Don't sell your wheels.  They should fit.  There are newer cragars that are not unilug.  The part number you listed is unilug.  If you got them from somebody with a GM or just the wrong washers, that is the problem.  Washers with a centered hole are for 4.75.  You need the offset washers below.  Put the hole inward for the Mopar 4.50, if you needed 5.0 you would put the hole outward.

He never listed a Wheel part number

[4cruzin]

I still have a deep dish pair for sale that definitely do fit mopar as I had them on my car and the chrome is still beautiful!  May be coming to PA this weekend if I don't have to go to a funeral on Saturday . . . .

The part number is listed in his for sale ad.   

[ACUDANUT]

Gottacha, It just was not listed in this section.

[oldcarnut]

The 70 Challenger I recently bought/sold last year had the SS wheels using those washers.  Can be real frustrating trying to mount the tire and getting it all aligned to tighten them down.  Had me cursing more than once trying to use my legs to lift the tire evenly while centering the washers and snugging lugnuts with my hands

Not me, unfortunately, but I know it is a local car and I'm trying to piece it's history together...

Your add says they will fit a Mopar ? but you say no on this forum.

[billssuperbird]

They did not fit my 70 rr with a Dana 60. The wheel studs did not line up.

[ACUDANUT]

Are Dana 60's threads bigger than an 8 3/4 ?

[70Sbird]

Are Dana 60's threads bigger than an 8 3/4 ?

On factory cars they were the same, 1/2" -20 I believe

[4cruzin]

I have cragers on my dana 60 with no issues . . .  

[billssuperbird]

I think mine mite have bin box wrong. 

[4cruzin]

Here is a bad picture of the cragers on my dana . . yeah they certainly need cleaned!  Picture of the car as well! 

[billssuperbird]

   

[ACUDANUT]

 We, with cragars, need to keep a light film of 10-4d on these wheels.  They will rust overnight without being out in the weather.

[billssuperbird]

What size are on that green superbird. 

[TruckDriver]

I don't know. that picture was off Facebook in one of the car groups I'm in, that has mostly car pictures from the 1970 and 1980's.

[charge69]

I know my Charger is not a Daytona or a Superbird but I did put the latest cast aluminum one-piece Cragar SS wheels on it with a MOPAR-specific 4 1/2" bolt pattern.  These are 15x7 front and 15x8 rear. They do not look like the original SS wheels but,  I am very happy with them and they seem to always get compliments for the "old-school" look!

[TruckDriver]

Another one off Facebook

[Lighthorseman]

I nreally like that big spoiler on the front...   

[billssuperbird]

I like the look on the red charger. Do you have the part numbers for the f+r wheels. 

[charge69]

You have a PM, sir.

[billssuperbird]

We'll I am going with magnum 500 15/8 on the rear. Now what I the larges tire I can put on the rear of 70 roadrunner
